High Court trial for murder accused

TREVOR Abrams, Josephine Henry and her husband Frank Henry, who were jointly charged with the capital offence of murder, were on Tuesday committed to stand trial in the next sitting of the High Court.The decision was made by Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty when they appeared before her at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

The allegation stated that on July 22, 2010 at Friendship, Canal, Lower Pomeroon River, the accused murdered Victor Williams called “Willo”.

The magistrate made the ruling based on the facts presented by the prosecutor.
She stated that sufficient evidence was led by the prosecution to have the defendant stand trial in the High Court at the next sitting of the Demerara Assizes.

According to report, Williams who suffered injuries to the forehead and legs had identified his killers before he succumbed to his injuries.

It was previously reported that Williams had attended a wedding a mile away from his residence and was seen socialising with friends.

But he later went missing and relatives launched a search for him. His body was found by his two sons in a trench and the accused, who were nearby, fled the scene.

Both sons later assisted their father out of the trench and subsequently transported him to the Charity Hospital where he died.

Police recovered a blood stained T-shirt, a hat and a pair of slippers from the scene.
